been made

The people of Salt Lake City should
be preparing themselves for an appea
to the Legislature next winter fol
authority to borrow money with which
to pay for necessary improvements. II
has been pretty well demonstrated
that however rigid the economy
practiced the city revenue is but little
in excess of the necessary current ex-
penses of the municipal government
Extraordinary improvements, such as
sewers, increasing the water supply
paving the streets, etc., cannot be
undertaken without borrowing or in
creasing the taxes. The latter should
not be thought of at the present time,
when so many poor people are withou
profitable or money-yielding employ
ment. High taxes in city like Salt
Lake would be peculiarly burdensome
and oppressive. The lots and houses are
largely owned by poor persons, who
work for day wages; their property is not
productive, yielding no revenue. They
can afford to own it only because the
taxes are light. If the rate of taxation
were increased materially, if it were in
creased enough to yield revenue suffi-
Gent for the needs of the city, these
poor people would have to sell their
homes and retire TO the country. As
the corporation income cannot be
made larger without expressing the
people, and retarding rather than slim
ulating the growth of the city, we must
do without desirable improvements es-
sential to the general welfare, or must
borrow the money with which to make
them.
There are two problems involving a
large outlay IF money, which the city
should undertake to solve within the
next two years, before the Legis-
lature succeeding the one Just
chosen, shall meet. One of these is
an increased water supply and the
extension of the water works system,
and the other is sewerage. But nothing
can be done with either before the city
has authority to increase its indebted
ness. As the periodical report of the
officers show the corporation
is lat the end of the rope" in the mat
ter of borrowing, having reached the
limit allowed by law. We must there
fore make ready to go before the com
ing Assembly with an appeal for au
thority to borrow, and having obtained
the power. must inaugurate the i'm
provemeDts.without which Salt Lake has
reached the limit of her greatness, and
will henceforth be at stsndstilI.

MAKE A START.

There are three routes to the Pacific
from Selt Lake, either of which is much
shorter than the Central Pacific line
and is also far preferable for a railroad
One is south of the lake, across the
desert, via Deep Creek, to Eureka, and
so westward following line about 15C
miles south of the Central Pacific. An
other, along which a survey has been
made most of the way is the continue
ton of the Salt Lake & Western. 1t is
equally convenient for this line to ter
inmate at San Francisco or at one of
the bays down the coast. The third
and perhaps, all things considered. the
more preferable route is via Phoebe and
so along southwesteriy to Los Angeles.
1t is known that along each of these
routes are rich mineral lodges and
fruitful agricultural valleys. Engi-
ueers believe that the local traffic which
would be developed by railroad
would soon support the line, if it
did not do so from the very
first. The Central Pacific, besides being
a long and circuitous route, runs for
hundreds of miles through a country
which contributes absolutely nothing
to its support. II it were not for its
through business the rails east of Cali
FORMS might as we'll be pulled up, for
all that part of the road is operated at
an actual expense to the company.
On any of the routes suggested above
there Ia no stretch of seventy-five
miles which would not contribute
something to the maintenance of rail
way, and most Of the country tributary
to the line would be immensely pro-
ductive If there were railroad to
assist in its development. If the Cen
trail Pacific can be operated at profit,
as it certainly has been for nearly
twenty years. line traversing an agr1-
grasing and mining country
would assuredly be remunerative, es-
pecially ss il would have a better
chance for through business on ac-
count OF its shorter mileage than the
Central Pacific.
AS remarked in these columns a few
lays ago, it Is doubtful that the Union
Pacific will build another line to the
Pacific. There is neither hope nor
prospect that it will do so for several
ears, if at all. Meantime, Utah and
salt Lake are being deprived of what |
hould be theirs by reason of their
location, and our mer-
hants, agriculturists and business men |
re losing golden opportunities. We |
'elieve it is the duty of our enterpris-
ng citizens to take this matter in hand,

THE UNION PACIFIC CHANGES.

1t begins to look as if the
onion Pacific directors knew
what they were about when they
offered Mr.. Potter an enormous
salary to be vice-president of the COM
pany and to take the practical manage
nent of the road. That is to say, it
looks as if Mr.. Potter understands his
business and proposes to earn his
salary. The changes in the personnel
81 the Conpany's official working force,
as noted in Fridays HERALD, are not
snIy in the line of correct economy.
but are generally, if not all, in the
interest Of wise raiiroading. Perhaps
the single exception is in the case of
Hr. Kimball, and we are pleased to note
the intlmation that he will be
retained in the service of the
company, as the assistant to
Manager Potter. Mr.. Kimball
Is one of the oldest officials of the
Union Pacific, and he is recognized as
capable, competent and reasonably fair
railroad man. He has not always had
his way, even in the management OF his
own department, but generally his
course has been such as to commend
him to the public as iudicious official,
devoted to his company, but not dis
posed to Cypress the patrons OF the
line. THE HERALD sincerely hopes Mr..
Kimball will continue with the Union
Pacific, and that his field of operation
and executive powers will be enlarged.
As to all the others who have been |
bounced we shall expect to hear no re-
grets on the part of the public, and
their retirement cannot fail to prove
beneficial to the road, In that it will in
crease the popularity Of the
line. Why some of them were
ever employed has been mys-
terry, and that they were retained
after their incompetency was estab-
lished and their unfitness for their re-
spective positions made plain, is past
finding out. 1t was, perhaps, due to
the absence at the head of a practical
and intelligent railroad man like Mr..
Potter. Some of the offices which are
to be abolished were purely ornamental,
and have been maintained solely to
provide places for the leeches who, for
some unexplicable reason, had claims
on the company or on those in control
1t is to be hoped that the present
changes do not contemplate the absn-
donment of the Salt Lake Office of the
company. For many years the Union
Pacific was without an Office in this
city and We all remember the annoyance
and inconvenience to which our mer-
chants and the travelling public were
put through having to refer all matters
il dispute to Omaha for adjustment.
We require an Office here, with some
person in charge having power and au-
thority 10 act for the company.

In connection with the announced
and contemplated changes in the
managerial force of the Union Pacific,
we trust it will not be deemed undulY
presumptive to suggest that in the
selection of new men parties be chosen
who will recognize the claims OF Utah
to fair treatment at the hands of the
great railway company, We also sug-
gest the propriety of designating men
who will be able to understand that all
patrons of the road are entitled to fair
and similar treatment. In the past there
hiss been entirely 100 much favoritism,
some Of which was developed at the
recent investigation by the government
commission, but vastly more of which
was Kept Back. We want no more OF
this thing of the railroad being operated
in s way to make one favored patron
rich at the expense of other patrons
who do not happen to stand in the
good graces of the officials. The inter
state commerce law will help some IN
this matter, but feir, honest and Just
officials can do more han any law foe
the protection Of the public. All that
has ever been asked is that no favorit-
ism be shown, all patrons being placed
on the same plane, each having adVan-
tsges equal to those enjoyed by the
others. That this has not been the case
Is too true, aud that it has not been is
most shameless, and is one reason why
the public are shedding no tears Just
nov over the removal of certain Union
Pacific officials who are recognized as
having been guilty OF fragrant fsvorit-
iSnI.

Lanxshoremen,s strike.

New YORK, Jan. 22.-The longshore-
men attached to the Anchor. French and
Cunard lines to the number of 500 quit
work this morning. The plan was ar
ranged at a midnight meeting of the execu-
tive committee Of this and Jersey City. and
the majority of the men did not know of
the result until early this morning. As early
as 4 o'clock the walking delegates took up
positions and Intercepted the men as they
were going to work. The strike was be-
cause quantity of merchandise which had
originally come from the Old Dominion
Steamship company had been surrepti-
tiously slowed on board the vessels. The
Anchor line had the Bolivia, for Glasgow;
the Cunard the Umbria, for Liverpool, and
the TranSatantique or French line, La
Champagne, for Havre. all advertised to
sail during the afternoon. After
the men left the foremen on
each of the three wharves set to
work with the crew and regular weekly
men. The Anchor line procured num-
Der of non-union men. The trouble at the
French line dock was over some Dominion
line cotton on the dock. The strikers stood
around and made game of the clerks and
sailors until the police drove them away.
When the cotton was all on board they re-
turned to work. The men declare that the
strike will be made general if the lines do
not give in,

ners then played off in a game which was
distinguished by hard knocks and fouls.

cries of murder" murder" issuing from
the front flat in the third story. In an

dressed, was pushed almost through one of
the windows. and the glass came down to
the sidewalk with a loud crash. The young
men tried to open the front door, but it was
locked. Suddenly woman, with her

body covered with blood. opened the door
and, apparently not seeing them, began
screaming murder at the top of her voice.
Then seeing them she cried. "That woman

woman covered and quailed and implored
the young men to protect her. BY this
time two officers from the Twenty-first pre-.
cinct arrived, and so did surgeon. He
looked at the wounds and pronounced them
serious, though not necessarily fatal. One
deep cut in the upper left arm was about
six inches long. Besides that she had two
bad cuts in the front of and under the chin,
as it her assailant had tried to get at her
throat. Her breast had a cut, and her
hands and wrists. were cut in many places,
as if she had tried to seize the weapon.
The wounded woman was removed to a
hospital and the wife was locked up. The
husband was so frightened that the neigh

THE FISHERIES MATTER.
Great Britain Not Anxious TO be
Drawn Into Quarrel With the
United States,

OTTAWA, Ont, Jan. 22.-The announce
ment that considerable cipher correspond =
ence by cable had been passing yesterday
between the British government and the
governor generals office has caused I'M
usual interest here, as 1t is understood that
it is in relation to the fishery difficulty and
the retalatory attitude recently taken at
Washington. 1t is positively known that
the British government impressed upon Sir
John Macdonald, when sanctioning the en-
forcement Of the fishery regulations of the
treaty of 1873. after the abrogation of the
fishery clauses of the Washington treaty III
1885, the necessity of maintaining friendly
relations with the United States. That
the British government did not desire to
get mixed up in the fishery squabble was
made apparent in their not cooperating
in the employment of their war vessels with
the Dominion cruisers in the protection of the
fisheries as was the case prior to 1871,
before the Washington treaty was ratified.
The fear of being drawn into trouble with
the United States by some bungling act of
the Dominion government has undoubtedl y
given considerable uneaSiness to the British
government, and there is little doubt Lord
Salisbury is disposed to yield to any rea-
Sonable Interpretation of the treaty rather
than strain it to its utmost limit. Hon.
George E. Foster, minister of marine and
fisheries, has been sent for, and is now hur-
rying here.
